Many students of memory assume that the practice of memory changed
dramatically around 1800; this volume shows that there was much
continuity as well as change. Premodern ways of negotiating
memories of pain and loss, for instance, were indeed quite
different to those in the modern West. Yet by examining memory
practices and drawing on evidence from early modern England,
France, Germany, Ireland, Hungary, the Low Countries and Ukraine,
the case studies in this volume highlight the extent to which early
modern memory was already a multimedia affair, with many political
uses, and affecting stakeholders at all levels of society.
